Gold's gym*

its too hot outside
to tackle gardening
or tanning (god forbid)
even walking,
was cut short
but this morning
was Yoga!

inhale exhale
breathe in and out
reaching stretching
but all the while
staying grounded
as if the feet were planted in the earth
stay strong
its exhausting
and empowering
all at the same time
i am so loving it!
who knew?

so i joined the gym.
not that i ever plan on getting
on those huge machines
outside our classroom:
treadmills,stairmasters,
stuff i never knew about like boflex.
hey, howz this?
bLowflex me, bub

i'll be in the next room
lieing down
with my eyes closed,
getting totally Zen
